Oak sticks in a box

Hi Ruben,
You might have explained elsewhere but can you describe how you made the slab, as it looks fantastic and I want to try making one too.
Thanks, Charles

These are the basics. https://www.colinlewisbonsai.com/Reading/cementslabs.html
I use aluminiumcement, but every other cement works well. For color i use pigment.

Overall a wonderful composition. I guess I better get busy tagging oaks.

Just seeing this thread for the first time -- lovely progression series. Inspiring to see how fast it developed in just a few short years.

I'm not familiar with this species, but do you happen to have any autumn foliage photos?

Autumn foliage is not that nice. Just yellow and 9 out of 10 times with fungus. I'll post one this year.

Ready for second cut. It's growing nice this year after repotting on this slab, happy.
